CAD stands for Computer Aided Detection . The computer acts as a second set of eyes and a second reading following the radiologist. It has been stated to increase the early detection of breast cancer by 20%. CAD should only be used in conjunction with an experienced breast radiologist as the computer identifies many benign areas which only an experienced radiologist can dismiss as benign. This increases detection and decreases benign biopsies.
